WHAT WE HAD FOR CHRISTMAS

Now that the festive season is over we can now look to the New Year! Our Christmas this year was very simple. I cooked up a mini feast and made room on the dinner table for sweet sticky ribs, peppered oxtails, roast chicken and grilled lamb chops. The Jollof rice took centre stage in place of the Turkey (as it’s everyones favourite) and was served alongside sweet fried plantains and my special palm rice. The Vegetables were (I must say) a little on the simple side with grilled brussel sprouts and carrots.

If there’s anything I certainly want to learn in the New Year it’s to be more creative with vegetables and salads as it’s an area I don’t tend to focus on as much but would certainly love to.

That night we also tucked into a portion of left over Mac n Cheese from the day before which I find to be the perfect accompaniment with jollof rice.
